Effect of hydrothermal treatment on the acoustic properties of wood from Walnut and Elm species, utilizable in musical instruments

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of hydrothermal treatment of walnut (Juglans regia) and caucasian elm (Zelkova Carpinifolia) wood species on their acoustic properties in radial and tangential directions. For this purpose, specimens were prepared with dimensions of 360 (L...
